Where to watch 2021 MPBL LIVE Invitational games, schedule & score updates

The MPBL Invitational is scheduled from December 11 to 23 at the Mall of Asia Arena, and the professional basketball league announced it has inked a television partner for the matches.

The regional league was previously aired on ABS-CBN S+A but it was forced to look for a new broadcast partner following the shutdown of the network’s franchise.

The MBPL games will be broadcasted on IBC-13 during the elimination round from December 11 to 20. Two quarterfinal games and all the semifinal and final matches will also be aired by the government station.

The deal marks the return of basketball to IBC-13, which aired the PBA games during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

“You know we are very excited partnering with the MPBL because we are going to go back to where we came from,” said IBC chairman Arturo Alejandrino. “We were in basketball before and for a while, we became very quiet and you know partnering with them is really a milestone also for IBC and we are excited as they are.”
